-„Chopper...CHOPPER... where are you?"

Nami and Sanji were crossing the forest when they heard their friend screaming. Without a second tought they were following the screams. But then suddenly there was a dark silence. Expecting the worst they still moved forward where they thougt the screams had been coming from. After some anxious minutes they found Lysop, obviously looking for little Chopper. To see both Nami and Sanji, brought a relieved smile to Lysops face and he told them about their meeting with a big, dark, ugly and very dangerous looking dragon. He told them how brave he had been and how he had been fighting the big dragon and how his teeth nearly had caught him, how he had got away without any scars. To Namis question, if he had been this brave and had fought this dragon, why little Choper was not there now, Lysop gave just a sheepish laughter and a scraping mouvment on the backside of his head as an answer. After all, it was not his fault that little Chopper was this scared, so he would just ran off. Now the three of them were looking for Choppers whereabouts.

-„So just to make sure I did understand. This little thing on your shoulder used to be the big,ugly and fat...".

-„Uooooow, pay attention what you say, my Miyu is very sensible. But yes, she is a„Kurayami no hi", a very rare, old and powerful dragon species. One moment she can be a powerful dragon and then in no time she is this cute little salamander. So I guess this proofs the wisdom: Tiny but ohoooo". Kkkkkkkk I think that's why we make such a good team. But now to you little Bambi..."

-„I'm not a BAMBI, NOT even a deer. I'm a reindeer and my name is Chopper."

-„Nice to meet you Chopper. By the way my name is Akira, but my friends call me Kiki, chose for yourself which name you wanna give me. So Chopper, you' re technically a Bambi...".

-„REINDEER!"

-„Allright, allright, a reindeer which ate the Human-Human fruit so you can walk and talk like me?! That' s super cool. I like you!"

-„You think so", Chopper answered with his face looking down to hide the immense blush.

After Chopper recovered from his „omg-the-dragon-just-turned-into-a-salamander"-trauma and Akira stopped beeing super exited about the „Talking Bambi", she offered warmly to bring him safely back to his friends. In hers and mainly the dragons company Chopper stayed positive and was looking forward to present his new friend to his crewmembers.

The right time for such a wish came promptly.

-„Chopper there you are. We have been worried sick about you, where were you? And where is this dragon, Lysop talked about!" Nami nearly overran Chopper with her loud and devilish voice.

-„And who is that child?!" Sanji asked and looking between the two. Before Akira could be pissed off by Sanjis question, Chopper quickly answered with a smile.

-„That's Kiki, my new friend..."

-„Come oooooooon, what is taking them so long. I want Sanji to make me food. I'm hungry!"

At the border of the small Island, the rest of the Strawhats were waiting very patiently for the return of their friends. Well, not so patiently in Luffys case. For him it seemed to be like a week without food, when in reality only 2 hours passed. Not to metion the hugh feast they participated in Skypia the previous day.

-„It was your idea to draw lots, so keep quiet, I wanna sleep!"

-„I didn't want Sanji to go. I prefered you, but...".

-„Luffy STOP TALKING!" Zoro was reaching the point to be really bugged out.

-„HMPF!", Luffy was in a huff and with a pout he turned his head away. „Still, I'm almost dying because I'm sooooooo hungry."

Zoro only made an angry face and was silently praying for Sanjis immediate return and Robin put her nose out her book and commented the whole show with a snicker.
